SETSEAL 1 (5LT)

Setseal 1 is a highly effective and easily dispersed water repelling additive for sand /cement renders and screeds. The product is an aqueous dispersion of inorganic silicates. It is diluted with water before use and provides permanent waterproofing and reduced permeability of cement bound mixes throughout their entire mass. The benefits of using Setseal 1 also include better resistance to chemical attack, increased frost resistance, and reduced efflorescence, all with no reduction in the strength. Setseal 1 may be used with Portland cement (ordinary and rapid hardening) and sulphate resisting cement. Setseal 1 renders are applied in two, three or four coats depending on the water pressures involved and the type of structure. Setseal 1 has also been used extensively for the waterproofing of basements, boiler houses, lift shafts, floors, retaining walls, swimming pools and water storage tanks.

• For all uses, dilute Setseal 1 with ten parts clean water.

The following figures show the typical consumption of undiluted Setseal 1 for various applications: General waterproofer 1.5 litres per 50kg cement Wall render (damp) 1 litre for 2.5 - 3m² (2 coats total 13mm) Wall render (water pressure) 1 litre for 1.8 - 2.4m² (3 coats total 20mm) Wall render (heavy pressure) 1 litre for 1.2 - 1.5m² (25mm thick)
